call_derivation: Call a Single Derivation Multiple Times

Description

Call a single derivation multiple times with some parameters/arguments being fixed across iterations and others varying.

Usage

call_derivation(dataset = NULL, derivation, variable_params, ...)

Value

The input dataset with additional records/variables added depending on which derivation has been used.

Arguments

dataset

Input dataset

derivation

The derivation function to call

A function that performs a specific derivation is expected. A derivation adds variables or observations to a dataset. The first argument of a derivation must expect a dataset and the derivation must return a dataset. The function must provide the dataset argument and all arguments specified in the params() objects passed to the variable_params and ... argument.

Please note that it is not possible to specify {dplyr} functions like mutate() or summarize().

variable_params

A list of function arguments that are different across iterations. Each set of function arguments must be created using params().

...

Any number of named function arguments that stay the same across iterations. If a function argument is specified both inside variable_params and ... then the value in variable_params overwrites the one in ...
